Psycho-analysis itself is just a
stripe on the coat of the tiger. Ultimately it may meet the Tiger - The Thing Itself - O.
(W. R. Bion, A Memoir of the Future,
1991)
Most people experience mental death if
they live long enough. You don't have to live long to have that experience— all you
have to do is to be mentally alive.

1991)

The Conference in Torino ... : what a nice
memory! four days for working together, meeting each other face to face, sharing
experiences, storing food for thought!
Many thanks for that to all of you. It has been your help in preparing it and your
participation that contributed to make it so meaningful and rich!
Now it's time, once again, to work and to plan
future issues.
This page has been wholly re-written and I should like it to become the main reference on
the Internet for the students of Bion's work. Your help is - once again - requested and
your suggestions welcomed to make it fit its aims for the best ...
Let's work together in setting it up! Write to me
and tell me what you think about it ...
Thanks a lot!

We have been requested by many of you about the
publication of the Proceedings of the Conference: actually, we don't mean to publish any
complete edition, but general agreements have been signed for publishing the main papers
and editing two volumes in English for Karnac Books and one volume in Italian for Borla
(they should be available within the first months of 1998). More details as soon as
possible ...
All the available papers presented at the
Conference are now published on this site in HTML format. No
further updating is currently planned.
An Internet Explorer Channel has been set up
including all main pages of the Bion project. Subscribe to it and you will be easily and
constantly updated ...
For any message concerning the Conference or
this page you can use either my private address (Silvio
A. Merciai) or (better!) the special mailbox which was set up during our meeting in
Torino (Torino Bion Conference). The latter is
still available, thanks to the generosity of SICAP
Informatica and particularly of Denis Truffo.
